Climate Conversation Series

Bath's stately ash trees are an important part of our urban forest, but they are under dire threat. The emerald ash borer, an exotic pest that rapidly kills native ash trees, has reached Bath after ravaging forests across the northeast. Members of the Bath Community Forestry Committee will explain the biology of emerald ash borer and how they lead to tree mortality, treatment options, and resources the city is employing to protect ash trees. Participants will also learn how the Maine Forest Service is combating the emerald ash borer with the help of predator insects.

Bath Climate Conversations is a continuing series focused on learning, discussing, and connecting around ways to sustain and support our vibrant town as climate change occurs. Hosted by Bath Climate Action Commission in partnership with Kennebec Estuary Land Trust and the Patten Free Library and presented in person and/or on Zoom. Registration is required for Zoom only.
